Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to Secured Party, indicating that such
chattel paper and other contracts are subject to the Security Interest; (ii) if required, execute

defend the Collateral against all claims and demands of all persons at any time claiming the same
or any interest therein, except as expressly provided herein. Debtor will not permit any Lien
Notices to exist or be on file in any public office with respect to all or any portion of the
Collateral except, in each case, for Lien Notices of holders of Permitted Liens or except as may
have been filed by or for the benefit of Secured Party relating to this Security Agreement or
related agreements. Debtor shall promptly notify Secured Party of any attachment or other legal

the Security Interest;

proceeding purporting to affect the Security Interest or the value of any Collateral, and in

therewith, including attorneys’ fees. Debtor hereby agrees that it shall be bound by any such
payment made or incurred or act taken by Secured Party hereunder and shall reimburse Secured Party
for all reasonable payments made and expenses incurred under this Security Agreement, which amounts
shall be Secured Obligations secured under this Security Agreement. Secured Party shall have no
obligation to make any of the foregoing payments or perform any of the foregoing acts;

in any action or proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement, then Debtor shall not be and
Secured Party shall be responsible for such related costs and expenses; and

7. Defaults and Remedies
7.1 Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall constitute an Event of
Default:
(a) Any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of Debtor herein, in any of the other
Transaction Documents, or in any report, certificate or other document furnished by or on behalf of
Debtor pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents shall prove to have
been false or misleading in any material respect when made or at any time shall fail to be true and
correct in all material respects.
(b) Debtor shall default in the due observance or performance of any obligation hereunder and
such default shall continue for thirty (30) days (unless a shorter or longer cure period is
provided under the terms of this Agreement) after written notice thereof has been sent to Debtor by
Secured Party; provided, however, that if the nature of such default (but specifically excluding
defaults curable by the payment of money) is such that it is not possible to cure such breach
within such cure period, such cure period shall be extended an additional reasonable period of time
for so long as Debtor shall be using diligent efforts to effect a cure thereof but no more than an
additional sixty (60) days.
(c) A Material Breach by Debtor under the Development Agreement or an Event of Default under
and as defined in any other Transaction Document shall occur, and such Material Breach or Event of
Default shall have continued beyond any applicable grace or cure period.
7.2 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
hereunder, Debtor expressly covenants and agrees that Secured Party may, at its option, in addition
to other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, without notice to or
demand upon Debtor (except as otherwise required herein), exercise anyone or more of the rights as
set forth as follows:
(a) declare all Secured Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon all unpaid
principal and interest on such Secured Obligations shall become and be immediately due and payable;
(b) if the Development Agreement is terminated and either (i) the Gaming Facility has not
opened for business to the general public, or (ii) Debtor does not or at any time fails to continue
operations of Class II Gaming and/or Class III Gaming at the Gaming Facility or any material
portion of the Project Facilities, Secured Party may immediately take possession of any of the
Collateral wherever it may be found or require Debtor to assemble the Collateral or any part
thereof and make it available at one or more places as Secured Party may designate, and to deliver
possession of the Collateral or any part thereof to Secured Party, who shall have full right to
enter upon any or all of Debtor’s places of business, premises and property to exercise Secured
Party’s rights hereunder; and without notice (except as specified below), sell the Collateral or
any part thereof in one or more parcels at one or more public or private sales, at any of Secured
Party’s offices or elsewhere, at such time or times, for cash, on credit or for future delivery,
and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as shall be commercially
-10-
reasonable. Debtor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten (10) days’ written notice to Debtor of the time and place of any
public sale or of the date on or after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute
reasonable notification. Any public sale shall be held at such time or times during ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as Secured Party may fix in the notice of such sale.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Party shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral
regardless of notice of sale having been given. Secured Party may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale, or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by
announcement at the time and place fixed for sale or, with respect to a private sale, after which
such sale may take place, and any such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and
place to which it was so adjourned or, with respect to a private sale, after which such sale may
take place. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold free from any claim or
right on the part of Debtor, and Debtor hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by law, all
rights of stay and/or appraisal which Debtor now has or may at any time in the future have under
any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. Debtor also hereby waives any claims
against Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Collateral may have
been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public
sale, even if Secured Party accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to
more than one offeree. The parties hereto agree that the notice provisions, method, manner and
terms of any sale, transfer or disposition of any Collateral in compliance with the terms set forth
herein or any other provision of this Security Agreement are commercially reasonable;
(c) exercise any or all of the rights and remedies provided for by the Uniform Commercial
Code, applicable law or by other agreement (other than any right to use or operate any of the
Collateral in place, the exercise of which Secured Party hereby waives), specifically including,
without limitation, the right to recover the attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by Secured
Party in the enforcement of this Security Agreement or in connection with Debtor’s redemption of
the Collateral; provided, however, that if Debtor is the prevailing party in any action or
proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement, then Debtor shall not be and Secured Party shall
be responsible for such related costs and expenses. Secured Party may exercise its rights under
this Security Agreement independently of any other collateral or guaranty that Debtor may have
granted or provided to Secured Party in order to secure payment and performance of the Secured
Obligations, and Secured Party shall be under no obligation or duty to foreclose or levy upon any
other collateral given by Debtor to secure any Secured Obligation or to proceed against any
guarantor before enforcing its rights under this Security Agreement. Debtor shall reimburse Secured
Party upon demand for, or Secured Party may apply any proceeds of Collateral to, the reasonable
costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, transfer taxes and any other charges) incurred by
Secured Party in connection with any sale, disposition, repair, replacement, alteration, addition,
improvement or retention of any Collateral hereunder; provided however that if Debtor is the
prevailing party in any action or proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement, then Debtor
shall not be and Secured Party shall be responsible for such related costs and expenses;
(d) the powers conferred on the Secured Party by this Section 7.2 and otherwise in this
Agreement are solely to protect the Secured Party’s interests in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. The Secured Party shall be accountable only
for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers,
-11-
and neither the Secured Party nor any of its officers, directors, trustees, employees,
representatives or agents shall, in the absence of willful misconduct or gross negligence, be
responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act pursuant to this Section 7.2 or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement; and
(e) Secured Party’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and preservation of
the Collateral, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal
with it in the same manner as the Secured Party deals with similar property for their own account.
Neither the Secured Party nor any of its directors, officers, trustees, employees,
representatives, or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or
any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell
or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Debtor or otherwise.

Such notices, requests and other communications sent as provided hereinabove shall be effective
when received by the addressee thereof, unless sent by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, in which case they shall be effective exactly three (3) business days after being
deposited in the United States mail. The parties hereto may change their addresses by giving
notice thereof to the other parties hereto in conformity with this section.
(b) Headings. The various headings in this Security Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Security Agreement or
any provision hereof.
(c) Amendments. This Security Agreement or any provision hereof may be changed,
waived, or terminated only by a statement in writing signed by the party against which such change,
waiver or termination is sought to be enforced, and then any such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(d) No Waiver. No failure on the part of Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any power, privilege or right under this
Security Agreement or any related agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single
or partial exercise by Secured Party of any power, privilege or right under this Security Agreement
or any related agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other power, privilege or right. The powers, privileges and rights in this Security Agreement are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, all rights and remedies of Secured Party shall be cumulative and may
be exercised singularly in any order or concurrently, at the option of Secured Party, and the
exercise or enforcement of any such right or remedy shall neither be a condition to nor a bar to
the exercise or enforcement of any other right or remedy. No waiver by Secured Party of any default
hereunder shall be effective unless in writing, nor shall any waiver operate as a waiver of any
other default or of the same default on a future occasion.
(e) Binding Agreement. All rights of Secured Party hereunder shall inure to the
benefit of its successors and assigns. Subject to the terms of the Development Agreement, Debtor
shall not assign any interest under this Security Agreement without the prior written consent of
Secured Party. Any purported assignment inconsistent with this provision shall, at the option of
Secured Party, be null and void.
(f) Entire Agreement. This Security Agreement, together with, any other agreement
executed in connection herewith, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their
agreement with respect to the matters covered hereby and is intended as a complete and exclusive
statement of the terms and conditions thereof. Acceptance of or acquiescence in a
-13-
course of performance rendered under this Security Agreement shall not be relevant to
determine the meaning of this Security Agreement even though the accepting or acquiescing party
had knowledge of the nature of the performance and opportunity for objection.
(g) Severability. If any provision or obligation of this Security Agreement should be
found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions and obligations or any other agreement executed in
connection herewith, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect to
the maximum extent permitted by law.
(h)
Survival of Provisions. All representations, warranties and covenants of Debtor
contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Security Agreement, and shall
terminate only upon the termination of this Security Agreement pursuant to Section 8(k) hereof.
(i) Power of Attorney. Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints Secured Party its
attorney-in-fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place
and stead of Debtor and in the name of Debtor, Secured Party or otherwise, from time to time in
Secured Party’s discretion (a) to execute and file financing and continuation statements (and
amendments thereto and modifications thereof) on behalf and in the name of Debtor with respect to
the Security Interest, (b) to take any action and to execute any instrument which Secured Party
may deem necessary or advisable to exercise its rights under this Agreement, and (c) upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute
any instrument which Secured Party may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of
this Security Agreement, including, without limitation:
(i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to Secured Party pursuant hereto;
(ii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and
receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;
(iii) to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel
paper, in connection with clauses (i) and (ii) above;
(iv) to sell, convey or otherwise transfer any item of Collateral to any purchaser thereof;
and
(v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Secured Party
may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to
enforce the rights of Secured Party with respect to any of the Collateral.
(j) Counterparts. This Security Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or
supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by facsimile, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one
and the same agreement.
-14-
(k) Termination of Agreement. This Security Agreement and the Security Interest
shall not terminate until full and final payment and performance of all indebtedness and
obligations secured hereunder, including without limitation the Secured Obligations. Secured Party
agrees to terminate this Security Agreement upon request if Debtor has satisfied the following
conditions: (i) all Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full and Secured Party shall have
no further obligation to make advances under the Development Agreement, and (ii) the Development
Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms. At such time as such conditions
shall have been so satisfied, Secured Party shall reassign and redeliver to Debtor all of the
Collateral hereunder which has not been sold, disposed of, retained or applied by Secured Party in
accordance with the terms hereof, and execute and deliver to Debtor such documents as Debtor may
reasonably request to evidence such termination. Such reassignment and redelivery shall be without
warranty by or recourse to Secured Party, and shall be at the expense of Debtor; provided however,
that this Security Agreement (including all representations, warranties and covenants contained
herein) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any
amount received by Secured Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Secured Party upon or in connection with the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Debtor or any other person or upon or in
connection with the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of or trustee or similar official
for Debtor or any other person or any substantial part of its assets, or otherwise, all as though
such payments had not been made.
(1) Sovereign Immunity Waiver: Arbitration: Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement
constitutes a security agreement contemplated by Section 2.1(g) of the Development Agreement. As
such and without limiting the scope of the Development Agreement, the provisions of Article 10 of
the Development Agreement apply to this Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference,
including, without limitation, the limited sovereign immunity waiver, limitations on recourse and
arbitration provisions contained therein and the Resolutions of Limited Waiver. This Agreement will
be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Minnesota
(without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles) and applicable federal law, and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Uniform Commercial Code, notwithstanding any
provision therein or other applicable law that would otherwise make such law inapplicable to
Debtor; provided, however, that if the Security Interest with respect to any item of Collateral is
unperfected under the laws of the State of Minnesota or if such laws otherwise do not recognize the
perfection of the Security Interest with respect to any item of Collateral, and any secured
transaction law of or adopted by Debtor does recognize the perfection of such Security Interest,
then such secured transaction law of or adopted by Debtor shall apply to the Security Interest with
respect to such item of Collateral, including without limitation the creation, attachment,
perfection and enforcement thereof. As used in this Agreement, “Uniform Commercial Code” means the
Uniform Commercial Code as the same may from time to time be in effect in the State of Minnesota.
The parties hereto may not change the law governing this Agreement without express written consent
of Debtor and Secured Party.
(m) Multiple Parties. As defined in this Agreement, the term “Debtor” refers to each
of the Tribe and the Authority separately and to both of them jointly and each is severally and
jointly bound with the other. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) all property
described in Section 3 of this Agreement will be included as Collateral if either the
-15-
Tribe or the Authority has, or if both jointly have, any right, title or interest therein,
(ii) all representations, warranties and covenants are made by each of the Tribe and the Authority,
and all Events of Default and other provisions applicable to Debtor shall be applicable to each of
the Tribe and the Authority, and (iii) receipt of any notice in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement by either the Tribe or the Authority shall be deemed to have been received by both.
